I am pretty sure spender will also have a lot to tell us :p

This is partially sarcasm (due to his often vocally expressed opinions 
about our processess (and even code) with respect to security) and 
partially meant seriously (there is always a possibility that at least 
some misunderstandings will be clarified and we'll get closer to 
convergency of the trees).

As a very long time grsecurity user, I'd definitely be interested.
